Professor Muchnik talks about his new book on July 19

We’re excited to welcome Federico Muchnik to our faculty this year, teaching Production & Management in our junior year. Federico has a long history in independent film, and this summer he published a new book The Strategic Producer: On The Art & Craft of Making Your First Feature.

Today’s technologies and economic models won t settle for a conventional approach to filmmaking. “The Strategic Producer: On the Art and Craft of Making Your First Feature “combines history, technology, aesthetics, data, decision-making strategies, and time-tested methods into a powerful new approach to producing. An ideal text for aspiring filmmakers, “The Strategic Producer “orients the reader’s mind-set towards self-empowerment by sharing essential and timeless techniques producers need to get the job done while also embracing the constantly evolving production landscape.
